When measuring intelligence, I do not believe that the Turing test is the most appropriate approach. Although computers can be programmed to communicate like humans, they are limited by their programming and cannot truly experience the world like humans. While a computer may be able to respond as if it has human-like intelligence, it is important to remember that its responses are based on pre-programmed knowledge and not the result of actual learning or experience.

Humans and computers share the ability to record and store memories. However, while humans rely on biological processes to learn and grow, computers continually use programming to improve their performance. Both humans and computers use their past experiences to inform their future actions, leading to continued development and progress.

Movies like IRobot and Ex Machina showcase robots created to mimic human life, with the ability to develop human-like behaviors. As someone who believes that film often provides a glimpse into the future, I have always been fascinated by whether computers will ever be able to reach the same level of intelligence and emotional depth as humans. However, I remain convinced that computers will always be limited by their programming and cannot honestly think, feel, and experience life like a human being.

Self-Care: As humans, we naturally desire to care for ourselves and improve our well-being. This involves self-education, which can encompass a variety of activities such as reading, attending workshops, or practicing new skills. Additionally, self-care is an important aspect of our lives, which includes activities such as grooming, spa treatments, and exercise.

While computers can provide valuable information on how to take care of ourselves, they need to be improved in their ability to understand human experience. They can be programmed to give us self-care advice, but they will never be able to fully understand the emotional and physical complexities that go into caring for oneself. Ultimately, the responsibility of self-care and self-improvement falls upon us as individuals, as we are the ones who can experience and make decisions based on our unique circumstances.

Social Justice: The legal system holds humans responsible for their actions, and if they commit a crime, they can be punished through imprisonment or fines. Unlike humans, computers or artificial intelligence do not possess emotions or consciousness; they merely follow the instructions given to them in their programming. Therefore, they cannot be held accountable for wrongdoing and sentenced to jail. However, specialized software has been designed to recognize, isolate, and eliminate threats in cases of cyber-attacks such as hacking, malware, spyware, or viruses. The software acts as a shield, protecting the system from malicious attacks and keeping it secure.

Emotional intelligence: While computers can support managing emotions, it is essential to acknowledge that human emotions are complex and accurate. Many factors, including our thoughts, experiences, and interactions with others, influence our feelings. While computers can provide tools and resources to help us cope with our emotions, ultimately, it is up to us to navigate and manage our emotional experiences.

Ethics: Computers, being machines, cannot possess personal ethics or moral values. However, they can be programmed to provide access to vast information on the principles of ethics, enabling users to learn and make informed decisions on ethical matters.

Remember to respond to two peers while being respectful of and sensitive to their viewpoints. Consider advancing the discussion in the following ways:

• Post an article, video, or visual to reinforce a peer's idea or challenge them to see their point from a different perspective.
• Engage in conversation with your peers around the topic of intelligence. Consider asking a question or sharing your own personal experience.
